was he referring to the bank picking through the rolled coins first?


As someone mentioned above, he was referring to employees. He also says customers will come pick through them for certain years and what not.

quote:

I am not against ordering rolls of half dollars if they are not already picked for silver.


Best I could gather from what he told me, they order them and that's what they get. They have no idea. I believe mine will order whatever amount I want, granted it has to be a large value. They will not place an order for me to get $50 worth. The reason he orders now is because there are others in the area who are after them. I think he placed a $500 order.

Also, the bank I speak of is BoA. My wife still has a military account with them and it is a block from my office, so it makes it easy for me to go in and establish a relationship with the employees.

Thanks, there are 4 banks within two blocks of my office that I can walk to. I already walk to my bank for managing my checking/savings and I know the tellers there as is. I wouldn't be against doing a clean sweep of buying loose half dollars from all of the banks nearby once every few weeks or so. But ordering large sum of half dollars appears to be more useful, if it isn't picked from the time of order to the my reception of the rolls.

Also do you return the picked rolls back to your same bank when you are finished? Or by chance do you save up a certain amount before making a deposit.
